Fam. Liliaceae from the Cerna of Oltet Basin (Romania) Muzeul Olteniei Craiova. Oltenia. Studii i comunicri. tiinele Naturii, Tom XXIII/2007 ISSN 1454-6914 FAM. LILIACEAE FROM THE CERNA OF OLTET BASIN (ROMANIA) RDUOIU DANIEL, RDUOIU MARIA-IONELA Abstract. The results of the recent research about the Liliaceae family, especialy anatomical research, cytotaxonomical, ecological, biochemical, and the morphological have influenced a lot the taxonomy of plants. Lately they are producing deep changes in the content of some taxons: family, genus, species, etc. Lots of taxons change their upright position, increasing or reducing their value, or the horizontal position moving from a genus to other or even from a family to other. In the last 10-15 years it has been talking more and more often about the division of the Liliaceae family in 9-15 families. Some romanian botanists (CIOCÂRLAN V., 1998) tell that although the Liliaceae family is a heterogeneous family, she must be admited as a unitary family, the heterogeneity being through taxons at level of underfamilies: Asparagoideae, Colchicoideae, Melanthioideae, Asphodeloideae, Lilioideae and Scilloideae. In this paper we present all the species from Liliaceae, identified in the Basin of Cerna of Oltet in the region of Oltenia – Romania. Key words: The Basin Cerna of Oltet, Liliaceae. Rezumat. Fam. Liliaceae din Bazinul Cernei de Olte (România). Rezultatele cercetrilor recente asupra plantelor, în special cercetri anatomice, citotaxonomice, ecologice, arealogice, biochimice, alturi de cele morfologice au influenat mult taxonomia plantelor. În ultimul timp se produc mereu modificri profunde asupra coninutului unor taxoni: familie, gen, specie etc. Muli taxoni îi schimb poziia pe vertical, mrindu-i sau micorându-i valoarea, sau pe orizontal trecând de la un gen la altul sau chiar de la o familie la alta. În ultimii 10-15 ani se vorbete tot mai des de divizarea familiei Liliaceae în 9-15 familii. Unii botaniti români (V. CIOCÂRLAN 1998) spun c dei familia Liliaceae este o familie eterogen, totui ea trebuie admis ca o familie unitar, eterogenitatea putând fi prin taxoni la nivel de subfamilii: Asparagoideae, Colchicoideae, Melanthioideae, Asphodeloideae, Lilioideae i Scilloideae. În aceast lucrare prezentm speciile din familia Liliacee, identificate în Bazinul Cerna de Olte, regiunea Oltenia - România Cuvinte cheie: Bazinul Cernei de Olte, Liliaceae. INTRODUCTION The River Cerna is a Meridional Carpathic affluent which flows in the Oltet River at approximatively 180 m altitudine. It springs from the Cptânii Mountains under the Cororu Peak (1900 m) and accompanies the river Oltet from the very high zone of these mountains` peaks. It has a length of 99 km and a surface of approximatively 617 km2. As a result of the very varied relief, climate and rock structure conditions, we can encounter a large range of soils (dark acide, podsol, rendzine, forest dark soils and alluvial from the river meadows of the main rivers), also reflected in the floristic composition of the studied area. The relief is under the form of low hills interrupted by the valleys of some rivers and small Sub-Carpathian depressions. The diversity of the relief is given by the steps in which it is arranged, by the mountaineous and Sub-Carpathian peaks oriented generally to the west-eastern side, the hilly plateau oriented to the north-southern direction and also by the the aspect of the valleys and depressions, by the river meadows along the main running waters and the geomorphological particularities of all the relief forms. This variety is the result of certain areas of massive relief forms: The Meridional Carpathians, The Gaetic Sub-Carpathians and the Gaetic Plateau which, have a complex geological structure. MATERIAL AND METHOD Starting from this information we repeatedly studied the area conform to the method of itinerary as the surface was very large, but when necessary we used the method of stationary and detailed our analyses collecting and preserving the floristic material. The identification of the taxons was performed on preserved dry material or on live material, using the latest taxonomic informative sources (BELDIE Al., 1977, 1979, SVULESCU T., 1952-1976, TUTIN T.G., et al. 1964-1980, BRUMMITT R.K. & POWELL C.E. 1992, CIOCÂRLAN V., 2000). For the localities we use the cartographic index UTM (LEHRER A. & LEHRER ALEXANDRINA 1990).

CONCLUSIONS In the Cerna of Olte Basin the Liliaceae family, is represented through 17 species, 4 subspecies and 2 formes. Among those exists an endemic taxon too in the flora of our country (Erythronium dens-canis subsp. niveum). This has a more rare spreading at the inferior part or the researched teritory. At the level of the subcarpathian hills and of the highlands it is absent. REFERENCES BELDIE AL. 1977, 1979. Flora României. Determinator ilustrat al plantelor vasculare. 1, 2. Edit. Acad. R.S.R.

Hence the need to design a database of the Italian alimurgic flora: AlimurgITA. Only strictly alimurgic taxa were chosen, excluding casual alien and cultivated ones. The collected data come from an archive of 358 texts (books and scientific articles) from 1918 to date, chosen with appropriate criteria. For each taxon, the part of the plant used, the method of use, the chorotype, the biological form and the regional distribution in Italy were considered. The 1103 taxa of edible flora already entered in the database equal 13.09% of Italian flora. The most widespread family is that of the Asteraceae (20.22%); the most widely used taxa are Cichorium intybus and Borago officinalis. The not homogeneous regional distribution of WEPs (maximum in the south and minimum in the north) has been interpreted. Texts published reached its peak during the 2001–2010 decade. A database for Italian WEPs is important to have a synthesis and to represent the richness and Citation: Paura, B.; Di Marzio, P.; complexity of this knowledge, also in light of its potential for cultural enhancement, as well as its Salerno, G.; Brugiapaglia, E.; Bufano, applications for the agri-food system.

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page.

Madani and Fatima El - Mubarak Botany Department Faculty of Science, Univ. of K. Sudan ABSTRACT Alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenes, sterols and saponins were qualitatively screened in different organs of five monocotyledonous species belonging to different genera: Allium cepa L., Asparagus densiflorus (Kunth) Jessop, Pancratium tortuosum Herbert., Kniphofia nubigena Mildr., and Urginea maritima (L.) Baker. Phenolic compounds were separated using thin layer chromatography to ascertain their relative phylogenetic position. Data collected from the qualitative phytochemical analysis, paired affinity, group affinity and isolation value reflected taxonomically significant information supported the inclusion of these species in different families by many taxonomists in the most recent classification systems. Keywords: Monocot classification, chemotaxonomy, TLC, phenolics. INTRODUCTION Monocot classification had undergone considerable revision in the past four decades particularly in recent years. Cronquist (1968, 1981) and Hutchinson (1973) in their systems of classification assigned the five species selected for the present study: Asparagus, Urginea, Pancratium and Allium to the family Liliaceae and Kniphofia to the family Aloaceae and both families to the order liliales .

  • Medicinal Properties of Selected Asparagus Species: a Review Polo-Ma-Abiele Hildah Mfengwana and Samson Sitheni Mashele
    Chapter Medicinal Properties of Selected Asparagus Species: A Review Polo-Ma-Abiele Hildah Mfengwana and Samson Sitheni Mashele Abstract Asparagus species are naturally distributed along Asia, Africa, and Europe and are known to have numerous biological properties. This review article was aimed to provide an organized summary of current studies on the traditional uses, phy- tochemistry, and pharmacological and toxicological studies of Asparagus laricinus Burch., Asparagus africanus Lam., Asparagus officinalis L., Asparagus racemosus Willd., and Asparagus densiflorus (Kunth) Jessop to attain and establish new insights for further researches. Information used in this review was obtained from electronic database including PubMed central, Google scholars, Science direct, Scopus, and Sabinet. Based on the present findings, the existing literature still presents some breaches about the mechanism of action of various constituents of these plants, and their relation to other plant compounds in poly-herbal formulations, as well as their long-term use and safety. More in-depth studies are still needed for active compounds and biological activities of Asparagus laricinus, Asparagus africanus, and Asparagus densiflorus. Therefore, innumerable opportunities and possibilities for investigation are still available in novel areas of these plants for future research stud¬ies. It can be concluded that all selected Asparagus species have tremendous potential to improve human health and the pharmacological activities of these plants can be attributed to bioactive phytochemicals they possess. Keywords: Asparagaceae, Asparagus africanus lam., Asparagus densiflorus (kunth) Jessop, Asparagus laricinus Burch., Asparagus officinalis L., Asparagus racemosus Willd., pharmacological actions, phytochemistry 1.

About 600-700 plants species in Pakistan are used for preparation of ayurvedic, unani and homeopathic drugs. Asparagus officinalis a sub-erect prickly shrub with white tuberous root usually is of prime importance in this regard. It naturally occurs in areas of southern Africa, Europe, Australia and Asia. Nutritive tonics are prepared from its roots and it is also a source of a nutritious starch, low in calories and is very low in sodium and good source of vitamins. This plant offers multiple health benefits because of presence of ingredients like proteins, alkaloids, saponins and tannins that help in improving fertility and vitality in women and men. Pharmacological activities of Asparagus include anticancer, antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, anti-dysenteric, anti-inflammatory, and anti-abortifacient, anti-oxytoxic, antiulcer, hypertensive and anticoagulant effects. Moreover, it is reported to reduce the risk of constipation, diarrhea, osteoporosis, obesity, cardiovascular disease, rheumatism and diabetes. Now days, the demand of such medicinally important plants has increased all over the world.

  • Molecular Data and Phylogeny of Family Smilacaceae
    Pak. J. Bot., Special Issue (S.I. Ali Festschrift) 42: 111-116, 2010. MOLECULAR DATA AND PHYLOGENY OF FAMILY SMILACACEAE ZABTA K. SHINWARI1 AND SHEHLA SHINWARI2 1Dept. of Biotechnology, Quaid-i-Azam University-Islamabad 2Dept. of Botany, PMAS Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi Abstract Family Smilacaceae’s higher order taxonomy remained disputed for many years. It was treated as an order “Smilacales” and was also placed under Liliales by several taxonomists. Even some considered as part of family Liliacaeae. In present paper, we investigated the family’s higher order phylogeny and also compared its rbcL gene sequence data with related taxa to elucidate its phylogeny. The data suggests that its family stature is beyond dispute because of its advanced karyotype, woody climbing habit and DNA sequence data. The data suggest that Smilacaceae may be a sister group of order Liliales and it forms a clear clade with the order. Introduction The Family Smilacaceae was first recognized by Vent. However, its taxonomic status remained controversial. Smilacaceae is a small family with only 3 genera and about 320 species. (Mabberley 2008, Conran,1998) In Pakistan it is represented by one genus and 4 species including a cultivated species (Ghazanfar, 1977). This family is mainly distributed in tropics but extending to temperate regions of both the hemispheres. Bantham and Hooker, (1883); Krause (1930) considered the genera of Smilacaceae under tribe Polygonatae of the family Liliaceae But majority of the present day taxonomists treat them under an independent family Smilacaceae because of its petiolar sheath tendrils, 1-chambered anther cells, sessile stigmas and mostly climbing habit (Fig.

İKİNCİ Turk J Bot 35 (2011) 319-330 © TÜBİTAK Research Article doi:10.3906/bot-1003-29 Molecular phylogeny and divergence times estimates of Lilium section Liriotypus (Liliaceae) based on plastid and nuclear ribosomal ITS DNA sequence data Nursel İKİNCİ Biology Department, Faculty of Arts and Science, Abant İzzet Baysal University, TR-14280 Bolu - TURKEY Received: 12.03.2010 Accepted: 08.12.2010 Abstract: In the present study the phylogeny and the biogeography of the genus Lilium L. section Liriotypus Asch. et Graebn. were investigated and divergence times for the section Liriotypus were calculated. Th e study group covers Lilium species from Europe, the Italian and Balkan peninsulas, Anatolia, and the Caucasus. Plastid DNA sequence data (the trnC-petN intergenic spacer and petN gene) and nuclear DNA ITS sequence data were used to infer the phylogenetic history of the section Liriotypus. Molecular phylogenetic dating using the molecular clock hypothesis with sequences of nrDNA ITS region was used to calculate the time of diversifi cation within the section Liriotypus and with other members of the genus Lilium. Th e phylogenetic reconstruction based on combined analysis of plastid and nrDNA ITS sequence data shows that all of the analysed species of section Liriotypus form a well-supported monophyletic clade. However, there are some incongruences between the analysis made by plastid DNA alone and with a combined dataset regarding the positions of L. monadelphum M.Bieb., L. szovitsianum Fisch. & Avé-Lall., L. ciliatum P.H.Davis, and L. akkusianum R.Gämperle. Our molecular dating analysis based on nrDNA ITS sequence data showed that members of the section Liriotypus were separated from the rest of the genus Lilium approximately 9 million years ago and within this section, speciation increased in the last 6 million years.
